Glow
Glows cannot be seen through transparent objects, nor in reections. The glow you specify here does
not act as a light; other parts of the scene will not be lit by the glow, nor will any shadows be cast.
This page enables you to create a soft glow. Inner Strength species the intensity of the glow over
the material surface; Outer Strength is the intensity of the glow at the edges (see Figure 1, below).
The Radius determines how far the glow (either the inner or the outer) extends from the surface. This
value is rendered relative to the distance of the object from the camera. The further away the object
is, the smaller the glow, and vice versa.
Glows are restricted to a maximum image resolution of 4,000 x 4,000 pixels.
